Felipe was an amazing guide! We toured the west side of Pico and saw the rugged landscapes and well maintained houses on the island. We had wine tasting and sampled home made brandies and infusions. The lava tubes were very interesting and definitely something to see! He was able to answer all our questions and took us to scenic locations off the beaten path. Highly recommended!!

We enjoyed our time spent with tour guide/owner Felipe. His expert knowledge of Pico island, UNESCO vineyards, and local wines was very much appreciated. Lunch was included at a wonderful, local restaurant. The Gruta das Torres -(Lava Tube) tour was fascinating as well. Truly spectacular day!

Wonderful experience with Philippe! First we had the evening food and winery tour with Philippe. Great food and great company. Then the next day we did the volcano tour and then the lava flows. The next day we then did a tour of the island. We recommend this as he was such a great guide!

Amazing trip with guide Phillip! We actually had booked a different trip the day before with him. Both trips were unique and wonderful. Food amazing and Phillip made the tours fun and authentic. He offered so much local information. Highly recommend!!

I was disappointed with the whole experience as description is misleading:
- it’s not a tour around Pico, it only covers max 25% of the island
- it’s not a tour on Land Rover (there is only one in use now) and we were driven in VW
- it is a weather dependent tour, once we met guide started to think about alternative rout as weather was so bad that Pico was not visible. I think in this case they can offer a choice - do the alternative tour or do half a tour and get 50% refund
- as for the guide we had a tour with a son, at the beginning he was quite and said that he spoke for 2 months and his throat is sore. To be fair he tried to save the situation and stretch the tour to fulfill the time.
- lunch was a pretty average buffet at O Petisca
The only highlight of the trip is a booked guided tour to the lava tunnel - official cost 10 EUR.
Conclusion: this tour not worth your money

This was an amazing tour of this gorgeous and very different Island. I definitely loved Pico, what a beautiful paradise. Filipe's tour is very informative, fun and full of little details that make it very unique and special like great views, picking up figs, waiting for the cows to pass and a secret walk from where you can see the island of Sao Jorge. In general, I was very pleased with this tour and loved all the places and information. The only down side for me, from my sensitive perspective, is that Filipe can be a bit grumpy at times but nothing that could damage my experience in any way.
